Hi, I am a new owner of a 1975 Catalina 22. The previous owner did a great job of restoring/repainting the hull & deck and she looks pretty good. The one thing I don't like is that when he repainted the deck he added a lot of antiskid paint that has (in my opinion) too much sand in it. Parts of the port deck are like rough sandpaper! It's uncomfortable to sit on it. I would like to re-do the deck if possible. Does anyone know of the best way to get this @#$% sand off the deck and repaint? Would i strip the paint/sand off or would I polish or scrape it off?
Deck paint repair?

yes...
Hi, thanks for the response. Yes, the whole boat was repainted. It's looks really good. I could live with the sandpaper-like hull if I had to. But how would I sand off sand? Other than with lots of elbow grease?

Sailposer: When I did my cockpit floor, I used a very fine, screened beachsand. Sprinkled it onto wet paint. Then without any sanding, gave it a second paint coat after first had dried. Turned out good. So maybe you can sand (or not sand) yours a little, then paint over and have it come out ok. Would try it on a small area first. Adequate nonskid is better than pretty-but-slippery.
